| As for best stout, not sure which one has been my all time best but I have made plenty that didn't last long in the fridge. Then there have been a couple that something somewhere went a stray and they had a very off flavor and unfortunatily (tear in eye) had to be poured out.
I do like Irish folk old and new. There are some newer bands most from U.S. going with a more rock version of the irish stylings that are very good too. But yep I do like the sounds and the brews of Ireland.
Never been out of the U.S. myself, but keep hoping one day my ship will come in and I can travel many areas that I would like to see before I die. Ireland being one of them, but also England, Scotland, Norway, and Belgium. Partly because my ansestors came from these areas and also they are areas with many wonderous sites to see and festivals to experience and OK lots of really good brews that I have yet to try.
